24 small pieces of wood that look perfect for heating the fireplace, but in this case they are to form a very nice and original Advent Calendar. Each piece is a gift box that corresponds to the days of December, from the 1st to the 24th. Put candy or little toys in each one, so the children can open each piece, day by day, until Christmas night. - Thanks to Sanglota website, from France, for this cute papercraft!

This beautiful Old Train Station is offered by Brother website, from Japan. The original model was on the scale of 1/150, fitting in only one sheet of paper, which I considered very small, so I decided to double the size of the pieces, thus making the model occupy two sheets of paper. The small station that I set up, was then somewhere between 1/50 and 1/60. The result you can see on the photos that illustrate this publication, and of course you will find the link to download the original template at the end of this post.

I "am in the paper modeling" since 2005, although I've had contact with paper models from my childhood in the 1970s, via magazines that were sold sporadically in newsagents. I remember magazines with houses to build and dioramas/playsets of airports, western forts, nativity scenes and the like. With the advent of the internet what happened was simply a revival of the papercraft hobby for me and many other people of my generation. Today I am opening a new session here on the blog, the Ephemeral Museum , which is a place where I will show some of the models that I built all these years. I would also like this to be a space where all modelers friends could show their work, so if anyone wants to participate in this "museum", just send photos of your work and a few words, if you want, to the e-mail:
